I appears that a local cat has opened the bag and spread the dirty contents over a small area. The council have done a great job and cleaned it up for you. In the rubbish was an envelope with an address on it. I assume the council will take the necessary action. Just a side note, we do not want dirty low life people like you in our area so please keep away for the health and safety of our neighbors. Thank you.
